Mediterranean dishes are full of fresh ingredients and signature spices, making them famous for their clean-eating and bold flavors. Kofta are herby, flavor-rich ground patties popular throughout the Mediterranean. Whether you’re new to Mediterranean dining or you’re a longtime fan of the cuisine, a quality kofta recipe is a must-have staple.

We take a delicious blend of herbs and spices to make chicken kofta; then, it is wrapped in a warm pita with fresh vegetables and finished with a cool dill yogurt sauce. 

Chicken Kofta wraps make an excellent meal for summer entertaining – this is a super convenient meal for catering to a group of guests with different preferences. Just place everything on the table and let everyone assemble their wraps, choosing their fillings and accompaniments to suit their tastes.
